Curse

Interesting

tried it briefly - replace assassin's remedy with way of perfection for a little healing and it handles hm stone elemental farming as well as the A/Mo build. A little slower on Cobblestone but took out a crown of thorns with less injury.

May have to do some tweaking and gives this a little more use.

No Assassin's Remedy = Wounding Strike > the aftermath of your damage.

So, how do you rig the scythe? Zealous/Fortitude? Sundering/Enchanting? or some other way?

15>50? or do you count on being hexed and go for 20% while hexed?

Zealous is pointless, seeing as you'll be getting 5 energy pretty much every hit. I'd say an enchanting scythe to put up your enchantments, then use a vampiric/fortitude scythe. 15^50 or 15 while enchanted would both work.

Scythe, the weapon that sundering is actually useful on, a sundering scythe crit under [[aura of holy might] deals massive damage, and with crit strikes it happens quite often.

15^50 or ench are fine, +enchanting or +al i'd say.

Nittle Grasper · Apr 15, 2008, 07:11 PM // 19:11

this is just something I made up cuz I wanted to use the new skill thingie +this build is like the BoA of PVE.
[build prof=A/Derv=Enchanted Striker scythe=12 critical=12+1+!][Wounding Strike][Eremite's Attack][Mystic Sweep][Way of The Master][Aura of Holy Might][Critical Agility][/build]

Sir Pandra Pierva · Apr 15, 2008, 07:48 PM // 19:48

if i am usin enchants i actually like to use the enchant mod over the 15 50 mod

FoxBat · Apr 15, 2008, 08:19 PM // 20:19

When you scythe critical all the time, sundering will actually yield better DPS than vampiric against lvl 20 targets. Lvl 28 I'm less sure about.

Sir Pandra Pierva · Apr 15, 2008, 08:23 PM // 20:23

hmm someone would have to test it.

RavagerOfDreams · Apr 15, 2008, 10:17 PM // 22:17

i was vanquishing last night and was dealing out 100-155 with a sundering on lvl 26 wars ^_^ sundering still works better at that lvl i know for a fact

gunna hafta get some1 to test lvl 28 though

llsektorll · Apr 19, 2008, 05:23 PM // 17:23

dammit this happens every time.... i make a overpowered char and it gets a nerf... T_T.... shouldn't have made this thread maybe anet had a look .... like nerf on Fox's Promise wasn't enough..

Tyla · Apr 19, 2008, 05:35 PM // 17:35

Scythesins were extremely strong.
I still think the tree should get hit too.

The changes to mystic/eremites has nothing to do with scythe sins in PvE. Like every single skill balance, it's because of PvP. The skills would have been changed regardless.

I think s/he was pointing at the nerf to Assassin's Remedy.
But if s/he was pointing at the nerf to Mystic / Emerites, I would quote Pyro.

Oh right, AR was changed too.

Either way, the changes have nothing to do with this thread.
